Newcastle United Confirms Yoane Wissa Fit for Wolves Debut After Injury Scan

Newcastle United are preparing for their match against Wolverhampton Wanderers with hopes of fielding a fully fit squad, including new signings Yoane Wissa and Nick Woltemade. Wissa, who recently joined Newcastle for a club-record £55 million from Brentford, impressed during his international duty with DR Congo by scoring two goals and providing an assist, but left the field with a knee concern. Following a precautionary scan by Newcastle's medical team, it has been confirmed that Wissa is not seriously injured and is expected to train with the squad ahead of the game, making him available for selection. This positive fitness update is crucial as Wissa, a proven Premier League scorer last season, is seen as a key player to fill the attacking void left by Alexander Isak's departure. Meanwhile, Woltemade, who has no Premier League experience but arrived earlier in the transfer window, is also pushing for a starting role, presenting a selection dilemma for head coach Eddie Howe. Newcastle, having started the season with just two points from three matches, face a Wolves side yet to earn a point and looking to stabilize defensively.
